Two generations of AICREATIVV interns returned to IBTE—some still studying, others now working—to share what the classroom can’t teach. Their full-circle stories were a reminder that growth starts when you try, and meaning follows when you give back.

At the Indigenous Exchange Festival (IXF) 2025 in Miri, Elroy Ramantan joined regional creatives to tackle a big question: how do we balance culture and commerce without losing meaning? His reflections highlighted the importance of intention, accountability, and collaboration — showing how Indigenous stories can thrive when guided by respect.

The National Theatre Festival Brunei 2025 brought three days of performances, workshops, and forums to the JIS Arts Centre — all rooted in Bruneian culture. For the third year in a row, AICREATIVV joined as creative partners and media team, capturing the energy onstage and behind the scenes. From design to coverage, it was our way of celebrating Brunei’s growing theatre community.
